Chanticleer

1 part gin
1.5 parts dry vermouth
.5 parts triple sec

I expected to dislike this, but it’s actually quite tasty. Crisper than the Pegu Club Cocktail, but not as overtly gin-y as the Bronx Cocktail. Not something I’ll drink all the time, but I can see making it again.

Apparently this is a non-standard version of the drink, but it’s the recipe I had at hand. Google ‘Chanticleer drink recipe’ and you’ll probably find the following recipe, which is closer to the drink’s prohibition roots:

1 egg white
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp raspberry syrup
2 oz gin

Doesn’t really sound like the same drink at all, really.
